[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have only been a handful of games, but you currently have U13 Loudoun, U15 VA Union and U16 VDA sitting in first place of their age groups.  But outside of a single team within each age group, DMV area clubs seem to be struggling on a whole.  When averaging the sum of points for each club (U13 thru U18/19), Charlotte SA, NC Courage, and Richmond are clearly the top 3 clubs overall.  NC Courage swept BRYC and Arlington this past weekend.  We know BRYC is struggling, but wasn't Arlington considered a "strong" club in Girls Academy last year??[/quote]

So half the age groups are led by NOVA clubs? That’s a bad thing?[/quote]

I was going to say this. 50% led by NOVA clubs and out of 14 total teams, 5 are in NOVA. Interesting math here and I'd say NOVA clubs doing just fine.[/quote]

Yes, NOVA has a good team within each age group, but he OP was referring to NOVA as a whole.  Current sum of 'points' for each club is as follows.  None of the top clubs have played each other yet other than Courage and VDA.   Keep in mind that Courage/NCFC is the only club that has both 1st and 2nd teams in this league.

CSA 14.00
Richmond 13.75
NC Courage 13.65
VDA 10.35
Loudoun 10.01
CESA 9.58
VA Union 9.07
Charlotte Independence 8.80
Arlington 8.64
NC Fusion 7.71
Wilmington 6.50
SCUFC 5.83
NCFC 4.59
BRYC 2.87[/quote]

Just another way to look at it, but at end of the day, 3 of 6 age groups have a NOVA club on top. After that, only metric that matters is being in top 5 so you can attend post-season in Seattle for Champions League. Based on that, 3 of the top 5 (on your metric) show VA clubs, 2 of that 5 being from NOVA. Still showing NOVA doing very, very well.[/quote]

yeah, will be interesting to see what this looks like in another month.  Richmond hasn't played any of the NC clubs yet.  VDA, Union & Loudoun haven't played Charlotte SA yet.  A lot will change.[/quote]

Agreed. Plus, some of NOVA clubs padded up their stats by beating up on Braddock Road and have not played some of the tougher clubs.[/quote]

BRYC has played a max of 8 games and only faced two NOVA clubs. [/quote]

Arlington has played only NC/SC teams, and the schedule has been almost all back to back weekends. We’ll see how things go when they start playing NOVA teams. I guess they got last pick of schedules because they were the last in? Not sure how that worked out, but such a ridiculous schedule has caused multiple season-ending injuries. [/quote]
